Data on teacher effectiveness ratings (highly effective, effective, etc) by comprehensive HCPSS high schools for 2017-2018 school year. Please note, this information is collected annually for reporting to the Maryland State Department of Education – as such we have attached a key for those codes used by MSDE in the collection of this data. This collection is only for the classification of teacher – not including support professionals such as counselors, psychologists, therapists, etc. For reference, the most recent published data by MSDE was in July 2017 and can be found here: http://marylandpublicschools.org/stateboard/Documents/07182017/TabG-TPE.pdf. Additionally, for reference, we have provided the HCPSS Framework for Teacher Evaluation, which lays out the model by which classroom teachers are evaluated.
